promulgated thereunder. On the Closing Date, the Company will provide an
opinion
reasonably acceptable to Subscribers from the Company’s legal counsel opining on
the availability of an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act as
it
relates to the offer and issuance of the Securities and other matters reasonably
requested by Subscribers. A form of the legal opinion is annexed hereto as
Exhibit
D.
The
Company will provide, at the Company’s expense, such other legal opinions in the
future as are reasonably necessary for the issuance and resale of the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, Rule
144
under the 1933 Act (“Rule
144”),
or an
exemption from registration.
7.1. Conversion
of Note.
(a) Upon
the
conversion of a Note, interest, any sum due to the Subscriber under the
Transaction Documents including Liquidated Damages, or part thereof, the
Company
shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including
obtaining and delivering, an opinion of counsel to assure that the Company’s
transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of Subscriber (or
its
permitted nominee) or such other persons as designated by Subscriber and
in such
denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares
of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. The Company warrants that no
instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to
the
transfer agent of the Company’s Common Stock and that the certificates
representing such shares shall contain no legend other than the usual 1933
Act
restriction from transfer legend. If and when the Subscriber sells the Shares
and Warrant Shares, assuming (i) a registration statement registering such
shares under the 1933 Act is effective and the prospectus, as supplemented
or
amended, contained therein is current and (ii) the Subscriber confirms in
writing to the transfer agent that the Subscriber has complied with the
prospectus delivery requirements, the restrictive legend will be removed
and the
Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable. In the event that the
Shares are sold in a manner that complies with an exemption from registration,
the Company will promptly instruct its counsel to issue to the transfer agent
an
opinion permitting removal of the legend (indefinitely, if pursuant to Rule
144(k) of the 1933 Act, or for 90 days if pursuant to the other provisions
of
Rule 144 of the 1933 Act).
(b) Subscriber
will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert the Note,
interest, any sum due to the Subscriber under the Transaction Documents
including Liquidated Damages, or part thereof by telecopying an executed
and
completed Notice
of Conversion
(a form
of which is annexed as Exhibit
A
to the
Note) to the Company via confirmed telecopier transmission or otherwise pursuant
to Section 13(a) of this Agreement. The Subscriber will not be
required to surrender the Note
until
the Note has been fully converted or satisfied. Each date on which a Notice
of
Conversion is telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions
hereof
shall be deemed a Conversion
Date.
The
Company will itself or cause the Company’s transfer agent to transmit the
Company’s Common Stock certificates representing the Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Note to the Subscriber via express courier for receipt
by such
Subscriber within three (3) business days after receipt by the Company of
the
Notice of Conversion (such third day being the “Delivery
Date”).
A
Note representing the balance of the Note not so converted will be provided
by
the Company to the Subscriber if requested by Subscriber, provided the
Subscriber delivers the
original Note to the Company. In the event that a Subscriber elects not to
surrender a Note for reissuance upon partial payment or conversion, the
Subscriber hereby indemnifies the Company against any and all loss or damage
attributable to a third-party claim in an amount in excess of the actual
amount
then due under the Note. “Business
day”
and
“trading
day”
as
employed in the Transaction Documents is a day that the New York Stock Exchange
is open for trading for three or more hours.
9
(c) The
Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Shares in the form
required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, or the Mandatory Redemption Amount
described in Section 7.2 hereof, respectively after the Delivery Date or
the
Mandatory Redemption Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) could result in
economic loss to the Subscriber. As compensation to the Subscriber for such
loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty)
to
the Subscriber for late issuance of Shares in the form required pursuant
to
Section 7.1 hereof upon Conversion of the Note in the amount of $100 per
business day after the Delivery Date for each $10,000 (and proportionately
for
other amounts) of the amount being converted of the corresponding Shares
which
are not timely delivered. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under
this
Section in immediately available funds upon demand. Furthermore, in addition
to
any other remedies which may be available to the Subscriber, in the event
that
the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Shares by the
Delivery Date or make payment by the Mandatory Redemption Payment Date, the
Subscriber may revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion or
rescind all or part of the notice of Mandatory Redemption by delivery of
a
notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and the Subscriber
shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to
the
delivery of such notice, except that the liquidated damages described above
shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given
to
the Company.
(d) Within
three (3) business days (such third business day being the “Unlegended Shares
Delivery Date”) after the business day on which the Company has received (i) a
notice that Shares or Warrant Shares or any other Common Stock held by a
Subscriber have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (ii) a
representation that the requirements of Rule 144, as applicable and if required,
have been satisfied, and (iii) the original share certificates representing
the
shares of Common Stock that have been sold, and (iv) customary representation
letters of the Subscriber and/or Subscriber’s broker regarding compliance with
the requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its expense, (y) shall deliver,
and
shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver to its transfer
agent (with copies to Subscriber) an appropriate instruction and opinion
of such
counsel, directing the delivery of shares of Common Stock without any legends
including the legend set forth in Section 4(i) above, or pursuant to Rule
144
(the “Unlegended Shares”); and (z) cause the transmission of the certificates
representing the Unlegended Shares together with a legended certificate
representing the balance of the submitted Shares certificate, if any, to
the
Subscriber at the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier,
by electronic transfer or otherwise on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery
Date.
(e) The
Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended Shares
pursuant to Section 7.1(e) hereof later than two business days after the
Unlegended Shares Delivery Date could result in economic loss to a Subscriber.
As compensation to a Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay
late
payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Subscriber
for
late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the amount of $100 per business day
after
the Delivery Date for each $10,000 (and proportionately for other amounts)
of
purchase price of the Unlegended Shares subject to the delivery default.
If
during any 360 day period, the Company fails to deliver Unlegended Shares
as
required by this Agreement for an aggregate of thirty (30) days, then Subscriber
or assignee holding Securities subject to such default may, at its option,
require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Shares and Warrant
Shares subject to such default at a price per share equal to the greater
of (i)
120%, or (ii) a fraction in which the numerator is the highest closing price
during the aforedescribed thirty day period and the denominator of which
is the
lowest conversion
price during such thirty day period, multiplied by the Purchase Price of
such
Common Stock and Warrant Shares (“Unlegended
Redemption Amount”).
The
amount of the aforedescribed liquidated damages that have accrued or been
paid
for the ten day period prior to the receipt by the Subscriber of the Unlegended
Redemption Amount shall be credited against the Unlegended Redemption Amount.
Damages calculated pursuant to Section 7.1(c) and Section 7.1(e) for the
same
Shares and Unlegended Shares shall be calculated only under one such section
at
the Subscriber’s election.
(f) In
lieu
of delivering physical certificates representing the Shares or Unlegended
Shares, if the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of a
Subscriber, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and
the
Subscriber is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement
of a
legend thereon, the Company must cause its transfer agent to electronically
transmit the Shares or Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of
Subscriber’s prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission system. Such delivery must be made on or before the Delivery Date
or
Unlegended Shares Delivery Date, as the case may be.
10
(g) Nothing
contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in
connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of
a
rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by
applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required
to
be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law,
any
payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed
by the
Company to the Subscriber and thus refunded to the Company.
(h) The
Company shall pay all damages payable pursuant to Section 7 hereof and all
other
liquidated damages and payments in immediately available funds upon
demand.
7.2. Mandatory
Redemption at Subscriber’s Election.
In the
event the Company is prohibited from issuing Shares, or fails to timely deliver
Shares on a Delivery Date, or upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default
(as defined in the Note or in this Agreement) that is not cured during any
applicable cure period and an additional ten days thereafter, then at the
Subscriber’s election, the Company must pay to the Subscriber ten (10) business
days after request by the Subscriber, at the Subscriber’s election, a sum of
money determined by (i) multiplying up to the outstanding principal amount
of
the Note designated by the Subscriber by 115%, or (ii) multiplying the number
of
Shares otherwise deliverable upon conversion of an amount of Note principal
and/or interest designated by the Subscriber (with the date of giving of
such
designation being a “Deemed
Conversion Date”)
at the
then Conversion Price that would be in effect on the Deemed Conversion Date
by
the highest closing price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market for
the
period commencing on the Deemed Conversion Date until the day prior to the
receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, whichever is greater, together
with
accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any other sums arising and outstanding
under the Transaction Documents (“Mandatory
Redemption Payment”).
The
Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by the Subscriber on the same
date
as the Company Shares otherwise deliverable or within ten (10) business days
after request, whichever is sooner (“Mandatory
Redemption Payment Date”).
Upon
receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding Note principal
and interest will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding. Liquidated damages
calculated pursuant to Section 7.1(c) hereof, that have been paid or accrued
for
the twenty day period prior to the actual receipt of the Mandatory Redemption
Payment by the Subscriber shall be credited against the Mandatory Redemption
Payment calculated pursuant to subsections (i) and (ii) above of this Section
7.2. In the event of a “Change
in Control”
(as
defined below), the Subscriber may demand, and the Company shall pay, a
Mandatory Redemption Payment equal to 115% of the outstanding principal amount
of the Note designated by the Subscriber together with accrued but unpaid
interest thereon and any other sums arising and outstanding under the
Transaction Documents. For purposes of this Section 7.2, “Change
in Control”
shall
mean (i) the Company no longer having a class of shares publicly tradable
and
listed on a Principal Market, (ii) the Company becoming a Subsidiary of another
entity or merging into or with another entity, (iii) a majority of the board
of
directors of the Company as of the Closing Date no longer serving as directors
of the Company except for the addition or replacement of up to six directors,
other than due to natural causes, (iv) if the holders of the Company’s Common
Stock as of the Closing Date beneficially owning at any time after the Closing
Date less than thirty-five percent of the Common stock owned by them on the
Closing Date, or (v) the sale, lease, license or transfer of substantially
all
the assets of the Company or Subsidiaries.
7.3. Maximum
Conversion.
The
Subscriber shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount
of
the Note in connection with that number of shares of Common Stock which would
be
in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of common stock beneficially
owned by the Subscriber and its Affiliates on a Conversion Date, and (ii)
the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Note
with
respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a
Conversion Date, which would result in beneficial ownership by the Subscriber
and its Affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common
stock
of the Company on such Conversion Date. Beneficial ownership shall be determined
in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as
amended, and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the
Subscriber shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of only 4.99% and
aggregate conversions by the Subscriber may exceed 4.99%. The Subscriber
may
waive the conversion limitation described in this Section 7.3, in whole or
in
part, upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Company
to
increase such percentage to up to 9.99%. The Subscriber may decide whether
to
convert a Note or exercise Warrants to achieve an actual 4.99% or up to 9.99%
ownership position as described above.
11
7.4. Injunction
Posting of Bond.
In the
event a Subscriber shall elect to convert a Note or part thereof or exercise
the
Warrant in whole or in part or request the delivery of Unlegended Shares
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Company may not refuse conversion,
exercise or delivery based on any claim that such Subscriber or any one
associated or affiliated with such Subscriber has been engaged in any violation
of law, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice,
restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of such Note or exercise
of all or part of such Warrant, or delivery of Unlegended Shares shall have
been
sought and obtained by the Company
or at
the Company’s request or with the Company’s assistance, and
the
Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Subscriber in the
amount of 120% of the outstanding principal and interest of the Note, or
aggregate purchase price of the Shares, Warrant Shares and Unlegended Shares
which are sought to be subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain
in
effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and
the
proceeds of which shall be payable to such Subscriber to the extent Subscriber
obtains judgment in Subscriber’s favor.
7.5. Buy-In.
In
addition to any other rights available to the Subscriber, if the Company
fails
to deliver to the Subscriber Shares issuable upon conversion of a Note or
exercise of a Warrant by the Delivery Date (as defined herein and in the
Warrant) or fails to deliver Unlegended Shares by the Unlegended Shares Delivery
Date and if after seven (7) business days after such date the Subscriber
or a
broker on the Subscriber’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or
otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by
such
Subscriber of the Common Stock which the Subscriber was entitled to receive
upon
such conversion (a “Buy-In”),
then
the Company shall pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to any remedies
available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the
Subscriber’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal
and/or interest amount of the Note for which such conversion, exercise or
required delivery was not timely honored,
together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until
such
amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall
be
paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For
example, if the Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total
purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted
conversion of $10,000 of note principal and/or interest or exercise of Warants
having an aggregate purchase price of $10,000, or Unlegended Shares having
an
aggregate purchase price of $10,000, then the Company shall be required to
pay
the Subscriber $1,000,
plus interest. The
Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts
payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.
7.6. Adjustments.
The
Conversion Price, Warrant exercise price and amount of Shares issuable upon
conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants shall be adjusted as
described in this Agreement, the Notes and Warrants.
7.7. Redemption.
The
Note and Warrants shall not be redeemable or mandatorily convertible except
as
described in the Note and Warrants.
12
8. Finder/Legal
Fees.
(a) Finder’s
Fee.
The

any

fees on account of services purported to have been rendered on behalf of
the
indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby and arising out of such party’s actions. The Company
represents that there are no other parties entitled to receive fees,

and filing fees, if any.

reasonable efforts to maintain such listing so long as any Notes or Warrants
are
outstanding. The Company will maintain the listing of its Common Stock on
the
American Stock Exchange, Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq National Market System,
Bulletin Board, or New York Stock Exchange (whichever of the foregoing is

Subscribers and promptly provide copies thereof to Subscribers.
(d) Filing

From

thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or
suspend
its reporting and filing obligations under said acts until two (2) years
after
the Closing Date. Until the earlier of the resale of the Common Stock and
the
Warrant Shares by each Subscriber or two (2) years after the Warrants have
been
exercised, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue
the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on a Principal Market and will

of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Failure to have
sufficient shares reserved pursuant to this Section 9(f) for three (3)
consecutive business days or ten (10) days in the aggregate shall be a material
default of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement and an Event of
Default under the Note.
(g) Taxes.
From
the date of this Agreement and until the conversion or satisfaction of the
Note,
in its entirety, the Company will promptly pay and discharge, or cause to
be
paid and discharged, when due and payable, all lawful taxes, assessments
and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon the income, profits, property
or
business of the Company; provided, however, that any such tax, assessment,
charge or levy need not be paid if the validity thereof shall currently be
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Company shall
have
set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto, and provided,
further, that the Company will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or
levies forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien
which may have attached as security therefore.
(h) Insurance.

companies in the Company’s line of business, in amounts sufficient to prevent
the Company from becoming a co-insurer and not in any event less than one
hundred percent (100%) of the insurable value of the property insured less
reasonable deductible amounts; and the Company will maintain, with financially
sound and reputable insurers, insurance against other hazards and risks and
liability to persons and property to the extent and in the manner customary

Effect.
(m) Confidentiality/Public
Announcement.
From the
date of this Agreement and until the sooner of (i) two (2) years after the
Closing Date, or (ii) until all the Shares and Warrant Shares have been resold
or transferred by all the Subscribers pursuant to the Registration Statement
or

be
relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities
of the Company.

an

the
foregoing which may be outstanding at anytime, without the prior written

(a) The
Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the
Subscribers, the Subscribers’ officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, control
persons, and principal shareholders, against any claim, cost, expense,
liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of
any
nature, incurred by or imposed upon the Subscribers or any such person which

by

hereto; or (ii) after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, any material
breach or default in performance by the Company of any covenant or undertaking
to be performed by the Company hereunder, or any other agreement entered
into by
the Company and Subscribers relating hereto.
(b) Each
Subscriber agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the Company
and each of the Company’s officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, control
persons and principal shareholders against any claim, cost, expense, liability,
obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature,
incurred by or imposed upon the Company or any such person which results,
arises
out of or is based upon (i) any material misrepresentation by such Subscriber
in
this Agreement or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto, or other
agreement delivered pursuant hereto; or (ii) after any applicable notice
and/or
cure periods, any material breach or default in performance by such Subscriber
of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by such Subscriber hereunder,
or
any other agreement entered into by the Company and Subscriber, relating
hereto.
(c) In
no
event shall the liability of any Subscriber or permitted successor hereunder
or
under any Transaction Document or other agreement delivered in connection
herewith be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds
actually received by such Subscriber upon the sale of the Shares.
(d) The
procedures set forth in Section 11.6 shall apply to the indemnification set
forth in Sections 10(a) and 10(b) above.
11.1. Registration
Rights.
The
Company hereby grants the following registration rights to holders of the
Securities.
(i) On
one
occasion, for a period commencing one hundred and twenty-one (121) days after
the Closing Date, but not later than two years after the Closing Date, upon
a
written request therefor from any record holder or holders of more than 50%
of
the Shares issued and issuable upon conversion of the outstanding Notes and
outstanding Warrant Shares, the Company shall prepare and file with the
Commission a registration statement under the 1933 Act registering the
Registrable Securities, as defined in Section 11.1(iv) hereof, which are
the
subject of such request for unrestricted public resale by the holder thereof.
For purposes of Sections 11.1(i) and 11.1(ii), Registrable Securities shall
not
include Securities which are (A) registered for resale in an effective
registration statement, (B) included for registration in a pending registration
statement, (C) which have been issued without further transfer restrictions
after a sale or transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or (D) which
may be resold under Rule 144(k) or Rule 144 without volume limitations. Upon
the
receipt of such request, the Company shall promptly give written notice to
all
other record holders of the Registrable Securities that such registration
statement is to be filed and shall include in such registration statement
Registrable Securities for which it has received written requests within
ten
days after the Company gives such written notice. Such other requesting record
holders shall be deemed to have exercised their demand registration right
under
this Section 11.1(i).
(ii) If
the
Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the
1933
Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account
of
other security holders or both, except with respect to registration statements
on Forms X-0, X-0 or another form not available for registering the Registrable
Securities for sale to the public, provided the Registrable Securities are
not
otherwise registered for resale by the Subscribers or Holder pursuant to
an
effective registration statement, each such time it will give at least ten
(10)
days’ prior written notice to the record holder of the Registrable Securities of
its intention so to do. Upon the written request of the holder, received
by the
Company within ten (10) days after the giving of any such notice by the Company,
to register any of the Registrable Securities not previously registered,
the
Company will cause such Registrable Securities as to which registration shall
have been so requested to be included with the securities to be covered by
the
registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent
required to permit the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities
so registered by the holder of such Registrable Securities (the “Seller”
or
“Sellers”).
In
the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 11.1(ii) shall be,
in
whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of common stock of the
Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in
such
an underwriting may be reduced by the managing underwriter if and to the
extent
that the Company and the underwriter shall reasonably be of the opinion that
such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to
be sold
by the Company therein; provided, however, that the Company shall notify
the
Seller in writing of any such reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions, or Section 11.4 hereof, the Company may withdraw or delay or
suffer
a delay of any registration statement referred to in this Section 11.1(ii)
without thereby incurring any liability to the Seller.
17
(iii) If,
at
the time any written request for registration is received by the Company
pursuant to Section 11.1(i), the Company has determined to proceed with the
actual preparation and filing of a registration statement under the 1933
Act in
connection with the proposed offer and sale for cash of any of its securities
for the Company’s own account and the Company actually does file such other
registration statement, such written request shall be deemed to have been
given
pursuant to Section 11.1(ii) rather than Section 11.1(i), and the rights
of the
holders of Registrable Securities covered by such written request shall be
governed by Section 11.1(ii).
(iv) The
Company shall file with the Commission a Form SB-2 registration statement
(the
“Initial
Registration Statement”)
(or
such other form that it is eligible to use) in order to register the Registrable
Securities for resale and distribution under the 1933 Act within sixty (60)
calendar days after the Closing Date (the “Filing
Date”),
and
cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective not
later
than one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after the Closing Date
(the
“Effective
Date”).
Subject to Section 11.1(v), The Company will register not less than a number
of
shares of common stock in the aforedescribed registration statement that
is
equal to 150% of the Shares issued and issuable upon conversion of all the
Notes, and 100% of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants
(collectively the “Registrable
Securities”).
The
Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set aside exclusively for the
benefit of each Subscriber and Warrant holder, pro rata,
and not
issued, employed or reserved for anyone other than each such Subscriber and
Warrant holder. The Registration Statement will immediately be amended or
additional registration statements will be immediately filed by the Company
as
necessary to register additional shares of Common Stock to allow the public
resale of all Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the Registrable
Securities. Except with the written consent of the Subscribers, no securities
of
the Company other than the Registrable Securities will be included in the
Registration Statement. It shall be deemed a Non-Registration Event if at
any
time after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the
Commission (“Actual
Effective Date”)
the
Company has registered for unrestricted resale on behalf of the Subscribers
fewer than 120% of the amount of Common Shares issuable upon full conversion
of
all sums due under the Notes and 100% of the Warrant Shares (“Shortfall”).
The
Company shall take all actions necessary to cause at least 120% of the amount
of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon full conversion of all sums due under
the
Notes and 100% of the Warrant Shares to be registered within 60 days after
the
date the Shortfall occurs. Failure to eliminate the Shortfall within the
60 day
period shall be a Non-Registration Event. No other securities of the Company
will be included in the Registration Statement other than the Registrable
Securities.
(v) The
amount of Registrable Securities required to be included in the Registration
Statement as described in Section 11.1(iv) (“Initial
Registrable Securities”)
shall
be limited to not less than 100% of the maximum amount (“Rule
415 Amount”)
of
Common Stock which may be included in a single Registration Statement without
exceeding registration limitations imposed by the Commission pursuant to
Rule
415 of the 1933 Act but in any event not less than *** shares
of
Common Stock. In the event that less than all of the Initial Registrable
Securities are included in the Registration Statement as a result of the
limitation described in this Section 11.1(v), then the Company will file
additional Registration Statements each registering the Rule 415 Amount (each
such Registration Statement a “Subsequent
Registration Statement”),
seriatim,
until
all of the Initial Registrable Securities have been registered. The Filing
Date
and Effective Date of each such additional Registration Statement shall be,
respectively, fourteen (14) and sixty (60) days after the first day such
Subsequent Registration Statement may be filed without objection by the
Commission based on Rule 415 of the 1933 Act.
18
(vi) Unless
otherwise instructed in writing by a holder of Registrable Securities and
only
if the initial Registration Statement does not include all of the Registrable
Securities, the Registrable Securities will be registered on behalf of each
such
holder in the Registration Statements based on Common Stock issuable upon
conversion or exercise of Notes and Warrants, in the following order and
priority:
(A) Notes
(based on the multiple set forth above).
(B) Warrants
issued to the Subscribers at any time based on exercise prices, with the
lower
exercise priced Warrant Shares being registered first and then the higher
exercise priced Warrant Shares. In the case of Warrants with the same exercise
prices but different Issue Dates, the later issued Warrants will be registered
first.
(C) Warrant
Shares issuable upon not yet issued Warrants.
(vii) Priority
shall be given to Common Stock issuable upon conversion of actual outstanding
Notes ahead of Warrant Shares. The foregoing notwithstanding, Registrable
Securities shall be allocated and registered pro rata among the Subscribers
based upon their initial investments in the Offering.
11.2. Registration
Procedures.
If and
whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Section 11.1 to effect
the
registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, the Company
will,
as expeditiously as possible:
(a) subject
to the timelines provided in this Agreement, prepare and file with the
Commission a registration statement required by Section 11, with respect
to such
securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement
to
become and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated
thereby (determined as herein provided), promptly provide to the holders
of the
Registrable Securities copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment
and notify Subscribers (by telecopier and by e-mail addresses provided by
Subscribers) and Grushko & Xxxxxxx, P.C. (by telecopier and by email to
Xxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx)
on or
before the first business day thereafter that the Company receives notice
that
(i) the Commission has no comments or no further comments on the Registration
Statement, and (ii) the registration statement has been declared effective
(failure to timely provide notice as required by this Section 11.2(a) shall
be a
material breach of the Company’s obligation and an Event of Default as defined
in the Notes
and
a Non-Registration Event as defined in Section 11.4 of this Agreement);
(b) prepare
and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such
registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as
may be
necessary to keep such registration statement effective until such registration
statement has been effective for a period of two (2) years, and comply with
the
provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all of the
Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement in accordance
with
the Sellers’ intended method of disposition set forth in such registration
statement for such period;
(c) furnish
to the Sellers, at the Company’s expense, such number of copies of the
registration statement and the prospectus included therein (including each
preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request in order to
facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the securities covered
by
such registration statement or make them electronically available;
19
(d) use
its
commercially
reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws
of New York and such jurisdictions as the Sellers shall request in writing,
provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required
to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any
jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service
of
process in any such jurisdiction;
(e) if
applicable, list the Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company
is then listed;
(f) notify
the Subscribers within two hours of the Company’s becoming aware that a
prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act,
of
the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result
of
which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state
a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing or which
becomes subject to a Commission, state or other governmental order suspending
the effectiveness of the registration statement covering any of the Registrable
Securities;
(g) provided
same would not be in violation of the provision of Regulation FD under the
1934
Act, make available for inspection by the Sellers, and any attorney, accountant
or other agent retained by the Seller or underwriter, all publicly available,
non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents
and
properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and
employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information
reasonably requested by the seller, attorney, accountant or agent in connection
with such registration statement; and
(h) provide
to the Sellers copies of the Registration Statement and amendments thereto
five
business days prior to the filing thereof with the Commission.
11.3. Provision
of Documents.
In
connection with each registration described in this Section 11, each Seller
will
furnish to the Company in writing such information and representation letters
with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as reasonably
shall
be necessary in order to assure compliance with federal and applicable state
securities laws.
11.4. Non-Registration
Events.
The
Company and the Subscribers agree that the Sellers will suffer damages if
any
registration statement described in Section 11 is filed but due to the action
or
inaction of the Company, such registration statement is not declared effective
within three (3) business days after receipt by the Company or its attorneys
of
a written or oral communication from the Commission that such registration
statement will not be reviewed or that the Commission has no further comments,
or is declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective without
being succeeded within fifteen (15) business days by an effective replacement
or
amended registration statement or for a period of time which shall exceed
thirty
(30) days in the aggregate per year (defined as every rolling period of 365
consecutive days commencing on the actual effective date (each such event
is
referred to as a “Non-Registration
Event”),
then
the Company shall deliver to the holder of Registrable Securities, as
Liquidated
Damages,
an
amount equal to two percent (2%) for each thirty (30) days (or such lesser
pro-rata amount for any period of less than thirty (30) days) of the Principal
Amount of the outstanding Notes and purchase price of Shares issued upon
conversion of the Notes owned of record by such holder which are subject
to such
Non-Registration Event. The Company may pay the Liquidated Damages in cash.
The
maximum amount of Liquidated Damages payable in connection with Non-Registration
Event may not exceed twenty-four percent (24%). The Liquidated Damages must
be
paid within ten (10) days after the end of each thirty (30) day period or
shorter part thereof for which Liquidated Damages are payable. In the event
a
registration statement is filed but is withdrawn prior to being declared
effective by the Commission, then such registration statement will be deemed
to
have not been filed and Liquidated Damages will be calculated accordingly.
All
oral
or written comments received from the Commission relating to the registration
statement must be satisfactorily responded to within
fifteen (15) business days after receipt of comments from the Commission.
Failure
to
timely respond to Commission comments is a Non-Registration Event for which
Liquidated Damages shall accrue and be payable by the Company to the holders
of
Registrable Securities at the same rate set forth above. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, the Company shall not be liable to the Subscribers under this
Section
11.4 for any events or delays occurring as a consequence of the acts or
omissions of the Subscribers contrary to the obligations undertaken by
Subscribers in this Agreement. Liquidated Damages will not accrue nor be
payable
pursuant to this Section 11.4 nor will a Non-Registration Event be deemed
to
have occurred for times during which Registrable Securities are transferable
by
the holder of Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the 1933
Act.
20
11.5. Expenses.
All
expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 11, including,
without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses (if
required), fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants
for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred
in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., transfer taxes, and
fees
of transfer agents and registrars, are called “Registration
Expenses.”
All
underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of
Registrable Securities are called “Selling
Expenses.”
The
Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration
statement under Section 11. Selling Expenses in connection with each
registration statement under Section 11 shall be borne by the Seller and
may be
apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the number of shares sold
by the
Seller relative to the number of shares sold under such registration statement
or as all Sellers thereunder may agree.
11.6. Indemnification
and Contribution.
(a) In
the
event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act
pursuant to Section 11, the Company will, to the extent permitted by law,
indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, each officer of the Seller, each
director of the Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable Securities
thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls such Seller or
underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Seller, or such
underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement
under which such Registrable Securities was registered under the 1933 Act
pursuant to Section 11, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
in light of the circumstances when made, and will subject to the provisions
of
Section 11.6(c) reimburse the Seller, each such underwriter and each such
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable
to
the Seller to the extent that any such damages arise out of or are based
upon an
untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if (i) the
Seller failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus delivered
by the
Company to the Seller with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation
of
the sale by the Seller to the person asserting the claim from which such
damages
arise, (ii) the final prospectus would have corrected such untrue statement
or
alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged omission, or (iii) to
the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is
based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission so made in conformity with information furnished by any such Seller,
or
any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such registration
statement or prospectus.
(b) In
the
event of a registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the 1933
Act
pursuant to Section 11, each Seller severally but not jointly will, to the
extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each
person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act,
each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each director
of the Company, each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter
within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against all losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such officer, director,
underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement
under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the 1933 Act
pursuant to Section 11, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter
and
controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
them
in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action, provided, however, that the Seller will be liable hereunder
in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage
or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in
conformity with information pertaining to such Seller, as such, furnished
in
writing to the Company by such Seller specifically for use in such registration
statement or prospectus, and provided, further, however, that the liability
of
the Seller hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds actually received
by
the Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement.
21
(c) Promptly
after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement
of
any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is
to be
made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party
in
writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall
not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party
other
than under this Section 11.6(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability
which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 11.6(c), except
and only if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such
omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified
party
and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent
it
shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake
the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section 11.6(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred
by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than
reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected,
provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both
the
indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available
to it
which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying
party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed
to
conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties,
as a group, shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume
such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action,
with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other
expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying
party as incurred.
(d) In
order
to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability
under the 1933 Act in any case in which either (i) a Seller, or any controlling
person of a Seller, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section
11.6 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or
decree
by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal
or the
denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be
enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 11.6 provides
for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the 1933 Act
may be
required on the part of the Seller or controlling person of the Seller in
circumstances for which indemnification is not provided under this Section
11.6;
then, and in each such case, the Company and the Seller will contribute to
the
aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject
(after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Seller is
responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public
offering price of its securities offered by the registration statement bears
to
the public offering price of all securities offered by such registration
statement, provided, however, that, in any such case, (y) the Seller will
not be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price
of all
such securities sold by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (z)
no
person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of
Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) will be entitled to contribution from any
person
or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.
22
11.7. Delivery
of Unlegended Shares.
(a) Within
three (3) business days (such third business day being the “Unlegended
Shares Delivery Date”)
after
the business day on which the Company has received (i) a notice that Shares
or
Warrant Shares or any other Common Stock held by a Subscriber have been sold
pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (ii)
a
representation that the prospectus delivery requirements, or the requirements
of
Rule 144, as applicable and if required, have been satisfied, and (iii) the
original share certificates representing the shares of Common Stock that
have
been sold, and (iv) in the case of sales under Rule 144, customary
representation letters of the Subscriber and/or Subscriber’s broker regarding
compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its expense,
(y)
shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver
to its transfer agent (with copies to Subscriber) an appropriate instruction
and
opinion of such counsel, directing the delivery of shares of Common Stock
without any legends including the legend set forth in Section 4(i)
above,
reissuable pursuant to any effective and current Registration Statement
described in Section 11 of this Agreement or pursuant to Rule 144 under the
1933
Act (the “Unlegended
Shares”);
and
(z) cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended
Shares together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the
submitted Shares certificate, if any, to the Subscriber at the address specified
in the notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise
on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
(b) In
lieu
of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, if
the
Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company
(“DTC”)
Fast
Automated Securities Transfer program, upon request of a Subscriber, so long
as
the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Subscriber is not
obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon,
the
Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended
Shares by crediting the account of Subscriber’s prime Broker with DTC through
its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. Such delivery must be made
on or
before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.
(c) The
Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended Shares
pursuant to Section 11 hereof later than two business days after the Unlegended
Shares Delivery Date could result in economic loss to a Subscriber. As
compensation to a Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late
payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Subscriber
for
late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the amount of $100 per business day
after
the Delivery Date for each $10,000 of purchase price of the Unlegended Shares
subject to the delivery default. If during any 360 day period, the Company
fails
to deliver Unlegended Shares as required by this Section 11.7 for an aggregate
of thirty (30) days, then Subscriber or assignee holding Securities subject
to
such default may, at its option, require the Company to redeem all or any
portion of the Shares and Warrant Shares subject to such default at a price
per
share equal to the greater of (i) 120%, or (ii) a fraction in which the
numerator is the highest closing price during the aforedescribed thirty day
period and the denominator of which is the lowest conversion price during
such
thirty day period, multiplied by the Purchase Price of such Common Stock
and
Warrant Shares (“Unlegended
Redemption Amount”).
The
amount of the aforedescribed liquidated damages that have accrued or been
paid
for the ten day period prior to the receipt by the Subscriber of the Unlegended
Redemption Amount shall be credited against the Unlegended Redemption Amount.
The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand.
(d) In
addition to any other rights available to a Subscriber, if the Company fails
to
deliver to a Subscriber Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this
Agreement, within seven (7) business days after the Unlegended Shares Delivery
Date and the Subscriber or a broker on the Subscriber’s behalf, purchases (in an
open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in
satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber of the shares of Common Stock which
the Subscriber was entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”),
then
the Company shall pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to any remedies
available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the
Subscriber’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for
the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase
price
of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as
Unlegended Shares together
with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount
and
any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid
as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty). For
example, if a Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total
purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase
price of shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as
Unlegended Shares, the Company shall be required to pay the Subscriber
$1,000,
plus interest. The
Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts
payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.
23
(e) In
the
event a Subscriber shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as described
in
Section 11.7 and the Company is required to deliver such Unlegended Shares
pursuant to Section 11.7, the Company may not refuse to deliver Unlegended
Shares based on any claim that such Subscriber or any one associated or
affiliated with such Subscriber has been engaged in any violation of law,
or for
any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary restraining order from
a
court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery of such Unlegended
Shares or exercise of all or part of said Warrant shall have been sought
and
obtained by the Company or at the Company’s request or with the Company’s
assistance,
and the
Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Subscriber in the
amount of 120% of the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the Common
Stock
and Warrant Shares which are subject to the injunction or temporary restraining
order, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of
arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be
payable
to such Subscriber to the extent Subscriber obtains judgment in Subscriber’s
favor.
12. Additional
Agreements.
(a) Right
of First Refusal.
Other
than with respect to the Excepted Issuances , and subject and subordinate
to
similar rights granted by the Company prior to the Closing Date, until the
later
of one year after the actual effective date of the Registration Statement
or the
Notes are no longer outstanding, the Subscribers shall be given not less
than
seven (7) business days prior written notice of any proposed sale by the
Company
of its Common Stock or other securities or debt obligations, or instruments
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock except in connection with
(i)
full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger,
acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities
or
assets of corporation or other entity which holders of such securities or
debt
are not at any time granted registration rights, (ii)
the
Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements
and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the
purpose of raising capital and which
holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration
rights,
(iii)
the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to
purchase Common Stock pursuant to stock option plans and employee stock purchase
plans described on Schedule
5(d)
hereto
at prices equal to or higher than the closing price of the Common Stock on
the
issue date of any of the foregoing, (iv) as a result of the exercise of Warrants
or conversion of Notes which are granted or issued pursuant to this Agreement
or
that have been issued prior to the Closing Date, the issuance of which has
been
disclosed in a Report filed not less than five (5) days prior to the Closing
Date, (v) the payment of any interest on the Notes and liquidated damages
or
other damages pursuant to the Transaction Documents or other securities
instruments that have been issued prior to the Closing Date, the issuance
of
which has been disclosed in a Report filed not less than five days prior
to the
Closing Date, and (vi) the issuances listed on Schedule
12(a) (collectively
the foregoing are “Excepted
Issuances”).
The
aggregate amount of Common Stock that may be issued as Excepted Issuances
under
items 12(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) may not exceed 1,000,000 shares of Common
Stock.
The Excepted Issuances may be modified as to all Subscriber with the consent
of
the Subscriber. The Subscriber who exercise their rights pursuant to this
Section 12(a) shall have the right during the seven (7) business days following
receipt of the notice to purchase in the aggregate such offered convertible
debt
instruments or other securities in accordance with the terms and conditions
set
forth in the notice of sale in the same proportion to each other as their
purchase of Notes in the Offering. In the case of Common stock or equity
of the
Company convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, the
Subscriber may purchase an amount equal to the aggregate purchase prices
of all
of the debt or equity of the Company ever purchased by such Subscriber pursuant
to a Subscription Agreement or exercise of a Warrant. In the event such terms
and conditions are modified during the notice period, the Subscriber shall
be
given prompt notice of such modification and shall have the right during
the
seven (7) business days following the notice of modification to exercise
such
right.
24
(b) Favored
Nations Provision.
Other
than in connection with the Excepted Issuances, if at any time Notes are
outstanding and in the case of the Warrants, for as long as both Notes and
Warrants are outstanding, the Company shall offer, issue or agree to issue
any
common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of
common
stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person
or
entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which
shall be less than the Conversion Price in respect of the Shares, or if less
than the Warrant exercise price in respect of the Warrant Shares, without
the
consent of Subscriber holding Notes, Shares, Warrants, or Warrant Shares,
then
the Company shall issue, for each such occasion, additional shares of Common
Stock to Subscriber so that the average per share purchase price of the shares
of Common Stock issued to the Subscriber (of only the Common Stock or Warrant
Shares still owned by the Subscriber) is equal to such other lower price
per
share and the Conversion Price and Warrant exercise price shall automatically
be
reduced to such lower price. The average Purchase Price of the Shares and
average exercise price in relation to the Warrant Shares shall be calculated
separately for the Shares and Warrant Shares. The foregoing calculation and
issuance shall be made separately for Shares received upon conversion and
separately for Warrant Shares. The delivery to the Subscriber of the additional
shares of Common Stock shall be not later than the closing date of the
transaction giving rise to the requirement to issue additional shares of
Common
Stock. The Subscriber is granted the registration rights described in Section
11
hereof in relation to such additional shares of Common Stock except that
the
Filing Date and Effective Date vis-à-vis such additional common shares shall be,
respectively, the thirtieth (30th)
and
sixtieth (60th)
date
after the closing date giving rise to the requirement to issue the additional
shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the issuance and adjustment described
in
this paragraph, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the
right
to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or of any warrant, right
or
option to purchase Common Stock shall result in the issuance of the additional
shares of Common Stock upon the sooner of the agreement to or actual issuance
of
such convertible security, warrant, right or option and again at any time
upon
any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such
conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the
Conversion Price or Warrant exercise price in effect upon such issuance.
The
rights of the Subscriber set forth in this Section 12 are in addition to
any
other rights the Subscriber has pursuant to this Agreement, the Note, any
Transaction Document, and any other agreement referred to or entered into
in
connection herewith. The Subscriber is also given the right to elect to
substitute any term or terms of any other offering in connection with which
the
Subscriber has rights as described in Section 12(a), for any term or terms
of
the Offering in connection with Securities owned by Subscriber as of the
date
the notice described in Section 12(a) is required to be given to
Subscriber.
(c) Maximum
Exercise of Rights.
In the
event the exercise of the rights described in Section 12(a) or
12(b)
would or could result in the issuance of an amount of common stock of the
Company that would exceed the maximum amount that may be issued to a Subscriber
calculated in the manner described in Section 7.3 of this Agreement, then
the
issuance of such additional shares of common stock of the Company to such
Subscriber will be deferred in whole or in part until such time as such
Subscriber is able to beneficially own such common stock without exceeding
the
applicable maximum amount set forth calculated in the manner described in
Section 7.3 of this Agreement. The determination of when such common stock
may
be issued shall be made by Subscriber as to only such Subscriber.
13. Security
Interest.
On or
about July 5, 2005, January 6, 2006, February 2, 2006, the October Subscription
Agreements, and February 16, 2007, the Subscribers were granted a security
interest in assets of the Company and Subsidiaries (as defined in Section
5(a)
of this Agreement), including ownership of the Subsidiaries. The security
interest was memorialized in Security Agreements. Each Subsidiary executed
and
delivered to the Subscribers a form of Guaranty. The Company and Subsidiaries
will execute such other agreements, documents and financing statements
reasonably requested by Subscribers to affirm such security agreement, which
will be filed at the Company’s expense with such jurisdictions, states and
counties designated by the Subscribers. The
Company and Subsidiaries will also execute all such documents reasonably
necessary in the opinion of Subscribers to memorialize and further protect
the
security interest described herein. The Subscribers appointed a Collateral
Agent
to represent them collectively in connection with the security interest.
The
appointment was pursuant to a Collateral Agent Agreement. The Notes and all
sums
due under the Notes and the Transaction Documents (as defined in Section
5(c)
above) are included in the term “Obligations”
as
defined in the Security Agreements and are secured by the Collateral (as
defined
in the Security Agreements) in the same manner and having the same priority
as
granted to the Subscribers pursuant to the Security Agreements. The Subsidiaries
by signing this Agreement consent and agree that the Guarantees provided
by them
on or about January 6, 2006, include as guaranteed obligations all sums which
may become due to the Subscribers under the Transaction Documents (as defined
in
Section 5(c)). The Company and Subscribers agree that Schedule
13
hereto
sets forth as of the date stated therein, the principal and interest outstanding
on Notes issued by the Company to the Subscribers which are included as
“Obligations”
under
various “Security Agreements” to which the Company and Subscribers are parties.
Such “Obligations”
include
additional amounts as described in the documents and other agreements entered
into in connection with such “Obligations”.
The
Subscribers agree that their interests in all Obligations are pari passu
in
proportion to their specific Obligation amounts and of equal priority with
each
other. The Subscribers, Company, and Subsidiaries agree that the Collateral
Agent Agreement dated as of February 2, 2006 is the Collateral Agent Agreement
which shall govern the rights and obligations of the Subscribers in connection
with the Obligations and shall remain in full force and effect except as
modified in this Agreement. The Subscribers agree that for so long as any
Obligations relating to the Obligations as set forth on Schedule
13
hereto
and other sums which may become Obligations which derive from such stated
Obligations (“Schedule
13 Obligations”),
remain outstanding, “Majority
In Interest”
as
employed in the Collateral Agent Agreement shall relate only to holders of
such
described Obligations. After such Schedule
13
Obligations are no longer outstanding, Majority In Interest shall be determined
among the holders of all other Obligations. As employed in this Agreement,
“Subscribers”
includes assignees of a Subscriber who by their signature on the signature
pages
hereto are deemed to be and become parties to the Security Agreements and
Collateral Agent Agreement and become beneficiaries of all the rights and
benefits of the other Subscribers and assume the corresponding obligations,
and
assignors who hold any portion of the Obligations.
25

Agreement and other documents delivered in connection herewith represent
the
entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and may be amended only by a writing executed by both parties. Neither
the Company nor the Subscribers have relied on any representations not contained
or referred to in this Agreement and the documents delivered herewith. No

or obligation of the Company shall be assigned without prior notice to and
the
written consent of the Subscribers.
(c) Counterparts/Execution.
This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different
signatories hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed,
shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but

and delivered by facsimile transmission.
(d) Law
Governing this Agreement.
This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the
State of New York without regard to conflicts
of laws
principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of
another jurisdiction. Any action brought by either party against the other
concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought
only
in the civil or state courts of New York or in the federal courts located
in New
York County. The
parties and the individuals executing this Agreement and other agreements
referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith on behalf of the Company
agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by
jury.
The
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its
reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this
Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid
or
unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision
shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith
and
shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any
such
provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any
agreement.
(e) Specific
Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.
To the
extent permitted by law, the Company and Subscribers acknowledge and agree
that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of
this
Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled
to one or more preliminary and final injunctions to prevent or cure breaches
of
the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any
of
them may be entitled by law or equity. Subject to Section 14(d) hereof, each
of
the Company, Subscribers and any signator hereto in his personal capacity
hereby
waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding,
any
claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction in New York of
such
court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient
forum
or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing
in this
Section shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law.
(f) Independent
Nature of Subscriber.
The
Company acknowledges that the obligations of Subscriber under the Transaction
Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other
Subscriber, and no Subscriber shall be responsible in any way for the
performance of the obligations of any other Subscriber under the Transaction
Documents. The
Company acknowledges that Subscriber has represented that the decision of
Subscriber to purchase Securities has been made by such Subscriber independently
of any other Subscriber and independently of any information, materials,
statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets,
properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or
otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given
by any
other Subscriber or by any agent or employee of any other Subscriber, and
no
Subscriber or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to
any
Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such
information, materials, statements or opinions. The
Company acknowledges that nothing contained in any Transaction Document,
and no
action taken by any Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto (including, but
not
limited to, the (i) inclusion of a Subscriber in the Registration Statement
and
(ii) review by, and consent to, such Registration Statement by a Subscriber)
shall be deemed to constitute the Subscriber as a partnership, an association,
a
joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the
Subscriber are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to
such
obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
The Company acknowledges that Subscriber shall be entitled to independently
protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights
arising
out of the Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for
any other Subscriber to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding
for
such purpose. The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all
Subscriber with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience
of
the Company and not because Company was required or requested to do so by
the
Subscriber. The Company acknowledges that the Aggregate Purchase Price is
being
delivered and paid in its current form at the request of the Company and
not
because of any request by the Subscribers. The Company acknowledges that
such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates
a
presumption that the Subscriber are in any way acting in concert or as a
group
with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions
contemplated thereby.
27
(f) Damages.
In the
event the Subscriber is entitled to receive any liquidated damages pursuant
to
the Transaction Documents, the Subscriber may elect to receive the greater
of
actual damages or such liquidated damages.
(g) Consent.
As used
in the Agreement, “consent of the Subscriber” or similar language means the
consent of holders of not less than 65% of the total of the Shares issued
and
issuable upon conversion of outstanding Notes owned by Subscriber on the
date
consent is requested.
(h) Equal
Treatment.
No
consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent
to a
waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless
the
same consideration is also offered and paid to all the Subscriber and their
permitted successors and assigns.
